Eating big melon is so refreshing

Chapter 14 Young Master Mingyue

Master Mingyue coughed lightly and said, "Their faces are too swollen. We still need to deal with them."

Luo Xiaopang and Li Datou fought with each other, and the wounds on their faces were not treated before they came here. One reason was that they wanted to gain sympathy, and another reason was that unfortunately, the ointment for treating their faces had run out!

The ointment given by Master Mingyue was very effective. After applying it on the faces of Li Datou and Luo Xiaopang, a game of checkers only took about five minutes. The swelling on their faces had subsided by a lot, and they felt cool and refreshed without any pain.

The accompanying butler showed a look of horror on his face. This plaster was very similar to the legendary golden ointment. It was not only expensive but also impossible to buy without connections. Young Master Mingyue must have a very close relationship with the one in the capital.

"You should go back now. My uncle will send the checkers and chicken eating rice toys to you once they are ready."

When Xiaoqiu was about to chase them away, it was really late, and crying sounds could be heard from the village from time to time, so Li Datou and Luo Xiaopang had to leave.

Datou and Luo Xiaopang got on their own carriage reluctantly. The housekeeper became anxious and immediately asked the servants to drive away.

A toy of a chicken eating rice sold for thirty cents, and a set of checkers also cost thirty cents.

Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin said, "Isn't this price too cheap? It takes several days to make a set of toys. It's a pity that they are just some wood and can't be sold at a high price. It's easy for people to copy them."

Xiao Qiulin said, "A pound of pork is only thirty cents, a pound of brown rice is five cents, and a pound of wheat is three cents. The price of the toys is not bad. If the sales are good, we can raise the price."

"Dad and Mom are back, let's go home too." Xiao Chunya had been paying attention to the movements in the next yard. It was already dark at this time. When Xiao Chunya walked out of the door, she was blown by the cold wind. She felt like there were ghosts all around her. She was so scared that she got goose bumps and ran away!

"Sister, don't run." Xiao Qiulin chased after her. Her sister was still so timid and didn't dare to walk outside after dark.

Although Master Mingyue's family and the Jiang family are neighbors, it takes twenty meters to walk from the gate of Master Mingyue's family to the gate of the Jiang family. It doesn't feel like a big deal during the day, but it feels particularly eerie at night.

Young Master Mingyue looked at the deserted courtyard and ordered his servants to open a small door in the wall adjacent to the front yard tomorrow, so that people traveling between the two sides would not have to go around the main gate.

"Father, I just pre-sold two chicken eating rice toys and two sets of checkers. The total is only 120 coins. Isn't the price too low?"

Xiao Chunya said, "Li Datou and Luo Xiaopang fought over the toy until their faces were swollen. It looked miserable, so I sold the toy to them."

Zhao Erlang's eyes sparkled. "My daughter knows how to make money now. These two toys don't require much wood, they just take some time."

Wood is worthless in the village, but it takes some time and effort. Zhao Erlang thought this was a good way to go. In the future, when he sells cloth at the dock, he can also sell some toys at the same time. This can be considered as an additional source of income for his younger brother. Why didn't he think of it before?

Zhao Erlang often hung out at the docks and knew what those people needed. He sold other things while selling cloth. His daily income was at least 250 coins, which was unimaginable in the past.

Brush teeth, wash face, wash feet. The two siblings were carried to the crib. Children need to sleep more to grow taller.

"Dad, we've sold out the pink and purple colors for five or six days. Tomorrow we'll dye them into light blue and navy blue. Dad also wants to buy some paper for making windmills. If there's any paint left, we'll make windmills."

Windmills are also sold in Huangyang County, but they only come in two colors: bright red and bright green. As the colors are impure, they look a bit dull.

"Dad will definitely buy it tomorrow." Zhao Erlang stayed by the bed with the two children. Looking at their two cute faces, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Jiang came out of her parents' room with a pair of small gold ingots in her hands. She placed them on the cabinet beside the bed.

Zhao Erlang said, "It won't take ten taels of silver. It's enough to sell two pieces of cloth a day. If you sell too much, people will envy you and you will be framed."

People in the same industry are enemies. Huangyang County is so small that Zhao Erlang feels that it is already amazing that he has been able to keep it secret for half a month.

"I feel like I'm being targeted these days. Most of my goods were taken by Shen Laowu to sell elsewhere. If they weren't afraid of Master Mingyue, they would have taken action long ago."

Zhao Erlang said, "Xiaochun reminded me that I should buy some toys to sell. It would be a waste for Lao San to farm instead of making toys with his skillful hands."

A woman should obey her husband. After hearing what Zhao Erlang said, Jiang returned the five taels of silver to her father and repeated the words he said.

Jiang Tian's eyes were filled with disappointment. If you don't want the money, you can just give it to me quietly. Why do you have to return it to your father?

Jiang Tang felt a little disappointed when he saw his wife's look. He had to find a place to hide the fifty taels of silver left by his ancestors, otherwise the silver would grow wings and fly to the Tian family.

Dark night

A carriage stopped at the door of Aunt Hua's house.

A six-year-old girl and a five-year-old girl got off the carriage and threw themselves into Aunt Hua's arms as she walked out of the door, sobbing, "Grandma."

"Big girl, second girl." Aunt Hua was surprised and happy and hugged her two granddaughters. Then she saw her son Jiang Guilin also getting off the carriage. She suspected that she was dreaming.

"The boss!"

"Son, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Mom, let's go inside and talk."

Jiang Guilin walked into the yard and said, "Thanks to Master Mingyue's help, my sentence has been changed to manslaughter and I will serve six months in the military service."

Murder is punishable by death, and unless there is a general amnesty, the person will be executed in the autumn.

The charge of manslaughter is much lighter. Manslaughter caused by various reasons can be sentenced to six months to five years.

Er Gouzi was unkind and unjust. He forced his ex-wife to death, sold out his mistress, and took his son away from his mother. Just these few points alone show that he is a scum. If the people of Er Gouzi's clan want to continue to pursue fame and fortune, they must give a lighter sentence to Jiang Guilin's murder case.

"Sir, mission accomplished."

"Have you beaten the scoundrel who targeted Zhao Erlang?"

"They've been beaten. Some of them were hired by the embroidery shop, and two were street bullies who have been sent to jail."

The current county magistrate was incompetent and stupid. In just two months, he had squandered all the wealth left by his predecessor. It seemed that he had also embezzled a lot of money.

"Whose is Jarvillon?"

"A branch of the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo."

"He's holding us back. Get rid of him." Young Master Mingyue said in a gloomy tone, "If the Duke of Zhenguo knew about this, he would thank me."

This guy named Jia is such a greedy person, it's only a matter of time before he is fired. If he stays in office for one more day, he will bring disaster to the people!

Eighteen left, and within an hour he saw the charges listed in the materials brought by the informant. These were enough to make the county magistrate spend the rest of his life in a coal mine.
